Melegis race

Joined op for a race near Granada...just south in the Lecrin Valley. woke up and discovered heavy snow....rare for Granada. Catastrophe on the hiway...but made it to a town close to the race , had to hike 4 kilometers...2.5 miles to the town.....the. race time was then delayed. the finish of this hilly bugger was in another town....so I ran back to get my back pack after 30 minutes of hard running....ran back for beer and food ceremony etc. then started the run back to the hiway...to catch a ride back to Granada....wow!! its some sort of holiday here!! but hitch hiking paid off and got a ride back to Granada. Fantastic exciting day!!!I wa like 60th out of 200, 6th in my age. much harder than I expected. enjoy the fotos...

Invisible Beggars ( we have all seen them)

As I was touring around Rome for the first time ever....I saw this woman several times, I rarely give change to beggers but I did to her.  I had stopped to rest because my back pack was getting a bit heavy and it was nice and sunny....sometimes watching the other tourists is as much fun as seeing the sights.  So I decides to do a time lapse of this lady coming down the path....she moved so slow and rythmic....as the people passed her by.  I watched and this is what I shot!!
